[A-NSEH] Structure Gel
Structure gel is a black, liquid substance that is found throughout LABIAL-III. It was introduced to the facility around the turn of the 22nd century and subsequently calibrated to be used by the WAU and assigned staff for a variety of maintenance and construction roles. It hardens when in contact with air.
The structure gel is an essential material for the machines of LABIAL-III. In some recordings, humans treat the pre-WAU robots with the gel to maintain them. (WAU is an artifical inteligence that runs the entire LABIAL-III).
The gel is stated to be a "cross-linked gel with aligned graphene in a polyunsaturated matrix" that can be encoded with instructions. If not calibrated to the WAU's instructions, the substance is very useful in technology, able to connect different forms of machinery and even increase the functionality of basic machines immensely.
The gel can reboot any offline machine and repair any structural or electrical damage. It can even bring biological life back to a "sleepwalking" reanimated state, using electrical impulses both to guide the pseudo-organism and to prevent the gel from hardening. Even human bodies can be "revived" this way. But it appears to posses aspects similar to of cancer growths when applicated on a living being, taking over it whole.
All of the structure gel in LABIAL-III is linked to the WAU. This in turn gave it complete control over any machine and piece of structure gel-infused technology. As the WAU's manifestation grew, the gel started to overflow the stations, covering the walls, floors and nearly all machinery. It is also possible for the WAU to make structure gel burst through pipes in the wall. Structure gel can be seen leaking from broken panels and from numerous bio-mechanical growths engineered by the WAU, often completely coating rooms.
